[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
First off, why didn't you just do an OTA update to Lollipop (via settings/about phone) instead of trying to manually do it? It's a lot easier and you could of avoided all of this...

Anyways, I am not sure what exactly happened (maybe it was a bad flash or maybe you screwed up somewhere), but it looks like you've gotten yourself in a real mess.

Did you triple check that you followed the article step by step? Did other people state in the comments about any problems they faced when using the method?

I have tried that method you linked before, and I used Ubuntu, which is best for that method. However, it did not work for me. I remember going on and on with that and ultimately just flat out replaced my logic board when I had a bricked G2.

And I can totally relate to to the twenty unformatted drives, I have been in same exact situation with the endless windows popups when I plug in my phone, but I never really figured out the issue. I remember before I was stuck in fast boot mode, and after awhile I couldn't even get to fast boot.

Can you get into recovery? Is the phone still alive? If so, you can use this to get back to stock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Hope this helps a bit, I have never been in your situation but if you want a real, simple solution to this: I would purchase and replace your logic board (phone's motherboard). It is a definite fix. If you are not comfortable with that, then I would advise to go ahead and do some research about this. Unfortunately, I have no idea where you can get that img (I do not have a D800, but rather a VS980), but I am sure with some Google searches you can find it.

I have bricked a couple phones in the past, and we all learn from our mistakes!

Best of luck!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
I couldn't do an OTA update, as it's an AT&T phone, unlocked, and was running on TMobile. (Sorry, could've sword I specified that)

I was very careful that I followed all the steps of that article, to the period, but, again, Murphy's Law. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong.

And currently, I've tried every button combination I know and every one I could find from searching, and the only thing I can get into is the hard reset mode, but I cannot actually do a hard reset (just reboots with the same issue).

I've been unable to find specific d80020y img files after quite a bit of searching, but I will continue, and I've also contacted LG support in the event that by some act of god they can provide me with the files or another fix.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischer12345:
Gotcha. I haven't ran into the issue you have been describing at all before, but I just wanted to try to understand this situation a little better, I wish I could tell you what exactly happened.

As far as your problem, here's what I would do. The phone is still alive correct? Contact LG and send that bad boy in. Tell them you used it for a couple of months and all of a sudden it does not work anymore. I think that would be your best bet. However, do not tell them you modified it or whatever you tried to do with it.

Be aware if you do send it in to LG, make sure you have not tried to open up the phone and screw around with it internally. They will not fix it if that is the case. Also, it can be quite pricey depending on your current condition.

Oh, and LG will not provide you with those files, they are there to help you with any kind of phone issue, but not these kinds of issues.

This my friend is the best advice I can give you! Again, another option would be replacing the logic board, but that is ONLY a last resort.

BTW, you didn't hard brick it so that's a plus :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
I've not got a warranty, nor do I have the funds currently to have it repaired. That would be my last option.

Also, I'm not sure if this is helpful or relevant, but when I plugged it in to my PC just now, and it "recognized" the whole bunch of drives, I clicked through each one to see if it actually accessed anything. The "drive" it labeled "G:" had a single "image" folder in it, containing a bunch of .b00, .b01, .b02, etc files, and some .mdt files. (See picture)

Is this relevant at all? Could this help me?

can you enter download mode? pressisng VOL UP and then plug your phone and keep button press. does it goes to usb icon with curved arrows?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
No download mode for me. Trying to boot to it just brings me the same error, and black screen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
in device manager whats it says mine said QHSUSB _BULK

i know there are 2 different errors 9006- and 9008 i think.. have you try skr tools? it has the required files. for unbrick read thread. maybe you can use it.. try my link in signature and go to tools and check skr tools. its a 700 mb download as it has most variants needed files laf/boot ect those files you need.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
It says the same, QHSUSB_BULK. I've not tried skr tools (never heard of it before now). I'll try that out tomorrow, thank you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Velkyrix:
do the QHUSB_BULK Fix when u try it (its in 4)

anyway i got my g2 in a much heavier brick,

i have a third party lab that can possibly fix my g2...

its not that expensive....

so I just need to hope they can fix it :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
this happened to me had HQSUSB_BULK showed many drives . but i could enter download mode and flashed KDZ all i had to do was change port 5 to 41.

are you sure you try download mode.? pres VOL UP keep presssing. then plug usb cable . if it shows the usb icon and a bar metter then you can KDZ
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
Yes, I am sure. I just tried it again, though, to confirm. Held volume up, plugged in USB, and it went to the LG logo screen, showed the same error text in the top left, and went to a black screen.

I am downloading the SRKtool right now, and will try as soon as i have it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
Alrighty, so, progress (?).

I did the procedure with SRKtool, and at the end it told me to unplug it from USB and restart it, So i did that, and it went to the download mode screen, then it gave an error (Regrettably, it went too quick for me to read it), and now it's on the LG logo and has been for maybe 5 minutes, and the notification light is flashing multicolor.

EDIT: YES! I turned it off, since it wasn't doing anything, and i am able to get into download mode! Miracle!

So, is there anything else i need to to, or can i just flash Lollipop to it now, with download mode?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
am not sure but there isnta kdz for lollipop right? you may need to go to KK KDZ

ooo you have d800 same as me. you need to download this and use the kitkat

Wow, it flashed and everything without a hitch. I'm in KK now, and everything seems all good. So how would I go about upgrading to lollipop?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jtpetch:
Thought I'd post back to share the conclusion.

Everything's working perfectly now, I flashed Lollipop through the flash tool, worked perfectly, and now I'm rooted, got a proper TWRP recovery set up, Xposed installed, and everything is good. Seems to run smoother on Lollipop too, and I was skeptical about the battery life, but it seems great

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyonicus:
Hello friends.

I have 2 questions I hope anyone can help me with.

I have experience with nexus phones (stated with a galaxy nexus, then a nexus 4), but I'm now having a different experience with my 6p, wich is why I need to ask:

1.- On previous models, when I unlocked my bootloader, on each reboot I got a small unlocked paddle on the bottom of the screen indicating so. On the 6p I now get a more annoying, more intrusive yellow triangle that says that my device cannot be checked for corruption. Is there any way to suppress this, or is that something I'll need to deal with?

2.- When attempting a nandroid backup on previous models, I get the option of backing up partitions like system and data. But the 6p seems to have more partitions. Can anyone give me a quick overview of what they do, and most importantly, which ones are recommended to back up?

Best regards.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G5-User7080:
1. Normally you can just flash an other Bootlogo, f.e. the stock or a custom one, but I don't own that device.

2. I don't know what partitions you have available to backup, but usually backing up system, data and boot is enough.

If you mean custom ROMs, yes you can flash them usually through recovery

So I just upgraded two moto g 2015 GSM 1GB models to android marshmallow. One that is completely stock using the update directly from motorolla, the other unnoficial ROM from here http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3254236. Everything seems to be working fine besides the Micro SD cards (which are Sandisk Pixtor class 10 / UHS-1 cards) (this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk...mory-card-gray-red/1300086.p?id=1219047586662 ). At first, they worked perfectly, and I formatted them both for internal storage. Then, the next day, when I woke up, the CM13 ROM phone said that the SD card is "unsupported" and tells me to reformat it. then, once I do that, the phone gives me an message saying "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.storage.VolumeInfo.getld()' on a null object reference" I have tried everything I can think of! Rebooting the phones, safe mode, resetting the stock phone, re-installing the CM13 ROM, and trying to re-format the drives on the computer! Please Help!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTooPhone:
Do you really want to use the SD Card as internal. If so, the card will be encrypted and locked to the one device. If not, you have the option to use as a portable card. I actually made no selection, after a few reboots, the nagging notice about the SD Card went away. Card works perfectly as portable storage.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balsamic:
I had the same problem with my moto g 2015 8gb on marshmallow a view weeks ago. I used a transcend 32gb sd card and formatted it as internal storage. One day i recogniced that all my apps on the sd card were gone. The sd card didn´t work anymore, and the phone wanted to format it again, but it didn´t work. I tried to format it on my computer and also with cameras, because I heard this could work, but i always got the error "sd-card locked".

After hours of trying to fix it i got a new card, and all my photos were gone.

I´m not sure if it is the phones fault.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicnun:
Awe bummer. Are you using the new card as internal storage aswell? Which card are you using? How long have you been using it for? Any problems yet?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ardany Jolón:
The same problem.

I also had the same problem. I failed to find a solution, I had to MiniTool Partition Wizard to format the SD but when trying to format from windows does not work. After that I tried to set it again as internal, but, just as I shot this error.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Same thing happened to me last night when I decided to make my Transcend micro sd to be internal storage. I thought it was just a bad sdcard, turns out Marshmallow bricked it. Any solution yet?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
EDIT (02-16-2016): Switched from Internal Storage to Portable Storage today. All headaches are gone.

Not looking forward to this happening to my SD card. The really bad part is that I have a TWRP backup on the SD card; it was set up as internal storage, but my desktop can't see it so I can't copy it over for safe keeping. Therefore the backup will be destroyed along with the rest of the SD card if the SD card is scrogged. This whole internal storage thing just sucks. Can't store Google Music to the SD card as well.

As Internal Storage it will not show up as a separate entity, you access it via Internal Storage. The SD card is now mated to to the phone, it is not independent and cannot be read in any device except in the phone that formatted it.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_eastcoast:
I just bought a Moto G 2015 8GB ROM phone, it's my 1st smartphone and I also bought a Lexar 32GB microSDHC UHS-1 class 10 sd card.

What I want to do is install my iTunes music folders that are on my Windows 7 PC onto the sd card and install JetAudio app from Google Play Store that is on the phone and play my iTunes music on my new phone.

The sd card is still in the package and have not touched it yet, so my question is, do I install the card on my PC with a microSD card reader and copy paste my iTunes Artist folders from PC onto the card and then insert the card into my phone, -or- do I install the new sd card into the phone first, then select the option for the card as portable storage device( I assume I do get an option for the card on the phone), then plug the phone into my PC using phone to USB cable and then copy paste the iTunes music folders from PC to card on the phone that way. I am not sure which method to do. I believe the phone app Jet Audio can play music files in .m4a file format. But I am not sure about this sd card in the phone selected as internal or portable storage, what happens when I first install the fresh blank card in the phone, will I get an option to select it as internal or portable.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
Just don't pick Internal Storage like I did. Neither Google Play nor any of the top music apps I contacted have the capability to store or read from internal storage, and you can't manually put or get files from there either. A ton of other people have run into the same problem. The other problem is that it appears that not many apps have the capability to use internal storage, so if your intent is to make more room on your 8 GB device you will be most likely be very disappointed. If you have a lot a songs like me, I would definitely choose portable storage to save space. on your 8GB. As I recall I had the choice which way to set up the storage when I inserted the card into the phone.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
As long as your M4A files are not encrypted somehow your method should be not relevant. I don't know if iTunes does this or not (pretty sure it used to), but if you can play your audio files on your PC with a generic player it should work fine in the phone.

As far as what [MENTION=5112418]pjc123[/MENTION] was talking about, several developers have not yet updated their apps to support Marshmallow's adopted storage of the SD card... I would have highly recommended the 2GB RAM version, but you got what you got. I would first put the card in the phone and allow it to format it if needed but set it up as Portable Storage, then how you move the files is up to you (if you set it up as adopted or internal storage, you can only see the card well it is installed in the phone). If you have a USB 3.0 card reader, it MIGHT be faster to remove the card and put it in a PC and copy the files, or you can just connect via USB and copy and paste the files. If you have a very large amount, I would recommend doing it in smaller blocks rather than all at once. Also remember that if you have a large number of files, they might not all show up in your media player right away, sometimes Android's media databases can take some time to update, give it a while and if they don't show up reboot the phone and give it some time. On the 1GB model people have sometimes noted laggy response well the media databases are updating.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matias.s:
I did not try the internal storage option yet. But if you have issues with your sd card bricked try low level format tool on windows, at least to make it work again. Aldo idk how the encryption actually works but if you want your data back, use the option "quick format, just delete mbr" and use some tool like recuva to fetch the data (if its not encrypted it should work)

Cheers.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_eastcoast:
I think I jumped ahead too fast, I mean I bought this new 32GB Lexar microSDHC UHS-1 class 10 card and it's still in the package and I had thought that I had a good plan on how to use it (internal or portable) in my Moto G 2015 1GB 8GB Marshmallow phone, I was going to format the card in the phone as 'Portable' but now not so sure, and now need to go back and start over again in the learning curve.

The first thing I would like to know about is the terminology, I know what selecting and formatting the SD card as 'Portable' in the phone means, to me it means you can remove the card and insert it via card reader to my Windows 7 PC and create a new Folders and copy paste music and picture files to the card, but one thing I know about 'Portable' storage is that when the card is in the phone, you cannot move 'apps' to it, I don't think apps will run from Portable storage sd cards.

What has me confused is the term 'adopted storage'. Is adopted storage the same as selecting 'Portable' storage option when the phone formats the sd card?

Or is adopted storage refer to selecting the card as 'Internal' option?

So I am trying to understand, if I select the option for the card in the phone as 'Internal', and the card is 32GB and my phone has 1GB memory and 8GB storage, what does Internal option do?

I mean does Internal add the 32GB to the 1GB memory making phone memory be 33GB? Or does an Internal card add the 32GB to the 8GB phone storage making my phone have 40GB of storage.

So if I format the card as 'Internal', I know that card is mated to the phone and cannot be removed, that's ok but if my phone can have 40GB of storage, I think it's possible to move phone apps to the card when it's formatted as Internal, but how do I get my Windows 7 PC music files to the phone? I am thinking of installing jetAudio music player app onto the phone via Google Play. I am still researching all of this first before I try anything.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
No... Adopted storage and internal storage are the same thing (the card is "adopted" by the phone as internal storage). Portable storage is the same as external. As far as the technical difference, you are mostly correct about the portability and use in other devices.

As far as actual storage goes when adopted, it's not as clear cut... In theory is should replace your internal storage (your ~4-5GB of usable space) and give you 32GB of storage, but in actual use in the Moto G it doesn't quite work like that... There are several threads discussing it you can read on.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_eastcoast:
Ok, thanks for that, you explained that well for me, so if I format the sd card as Internal or Adopted, I can have more usable internal storage space, which is good, because my phone now without a card is showing 2.13GB used internal storage of 4.53GB. So not much storage space left. So now I need to find out how you can copy Windows 7 PC music files to the phone. I assume I can't just USB cable the phone to the PC and copy paste music files to the phone, I am assuming that will not work.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
It should work fine, in either internal or portable mode. MPT transfer mode built into Android is intended for this purpose.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_eastcoast:

oK, what I found out by calling the store here was I need to have Developer options to have phone connect to PC via USB and show, you go to phone Settings, scroll down and click on About phone, scroll down and press Build number 7 (seven) times, then the OS will add the Developer options in Settings under System. I am about to dig into Develop options to get the phone to connect to PC so will update what happens.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

ok once you have Developer options showing in Settings, System, click on Developer options and scroll down the screen to under Debugging and turn ON USB debugging. then continue to scroll down in Developer options to Select USB Configuration (MTP Media Transfer Protocol), click it and then in Select USB Configuration screen, click on MTP radio button to turn it ON if it's not already ON. Then with 2 fingers at top of phone screen swipe down to show USB used for charging only touch for more options, press it and change the radio button under Use USB for, press Transfer files (MTP). That should fix the problem and now you can see the internals of your Android Marshmallow phone on your PC screen. Next I am going to attempt to create a new Folder on the phone called Music but I will try that tomorrow. Bye for now.
